Would the kids be better off in the custody of child protective services?

I've seen parents with spoiled bratty children that have no discipline whatsoever. In my personal opinion, they need to be reported to DHS immediately. Parents that don't discipline their children aren't doing their job as parents.

If you are talking about neglect - yes.
But if you are talking about parents who do not spank or do not choose to use negative discipline - absolutely not. There are many methods of disciplining children and many work and they do not all include hitting.
And after reading your further comments - who are you to judge? Do you know the cause of this brattiness? The child could be ADHD or have a form of autism that causes this behavior. Just because the parent is choosing to let the behavior go until the child calms down does NOT mean the child is spoiled and undisciplined. It just means that they do not want the problem to escalate.

It depends on how the child responds if the child is completely out of control no I don't think it depends on anything if a child is not being abused than they should not be taken away from there parents. There sure be mandated counseling but I think it affect a child deeper to be taken from there birth parents than it does to be spoiled. removing a child from there family to be put in a home with complete strangers should be the last option. Foster home are a good thing but not always the best and sometime worse than were the child came from. Some people are sick even the one Child services trusts to take care of other peoples children! Counseling definitely!

In my opinion I think that it depends on the child's behavior. If the child is getting in trouble @ school, breaking laws, or just doing things that children shouldn't be doing...then yes I agree with you however I don't think they should be put with authorities or services, they should just have the parents take classes or something on how the child should behave in a structured place, if that doesn't change then something else should be done.
If the kid is well behaved then no they shouldn't be taken away or changed. It doesent mean that there bad parents if they spoil there kids, it could even mean that they care about there childern.
I'm gonna have to dissagree with you.

No they should not lose custody of them. Just because a parent does not spoil their children does not mean they are bad parents. Some parents that spoil their children have bad experiences. most of the children that are spoiled run over their parents and embarrass them in public. The parents the discipline their children should not lose custody either because they just want the best out of them. Now the parents that abuse their children should lose custody.

Not that I agree with some laws you do realize that in some states it is illegal to discipline your kids .
What makes you think government controlled CPS system is better than non abusive parents.
Discipline should be designed around the individual child some you can talk to some you must sit in the corner and some it takes so type of corporal punishment to correct.and others beating with a 2x4 will not change their behavior. A wise parent must determine what works the best and always never take it to abuse.

I think that if the children are in danger, if they are not disciplined to the point of negligence, CPS should be called. But to just say that they let their kids be bad, well, there are just all sorts of parents out there. The kids that really need intervention slip through the cracks while frivolous/vidicitve/retaliation cases are investigated everyday.

Umm...no.
Certainly there are an abundance of parents that either spoil their kids or let them get away with way too much. It's not ideal parenting to be sure.
However, do you think they'd be better off in the foster care system? And if we start interfering with families at THAT level, what's next?

i just tell the parents like it is. you are a bad parent for letting your child behave like that. good parents have discipline and can discipline their children. if you didn't want to RAISE your child why didn't give it up for adoption? why did you want a kid? do you have any idea how many good childless parents there are? why do you think asian adoption has become rampid? because women like you are selfish!
i know i'm a B. no need to tell me something i know.
and , YES , i have been known to say this to women to their faces - in front of their husbands, kids, and parents.

Legally there is nothing the state can do. Spoiling a child is not considered neglect and although discipline is so very important for a child not doing so is in no way considered neglectful.

If that happened the problem then would be that they would have no where to send these children as not many people want to foster or adopt... they'll end up getting offers from sex offenders etc... I think they should have courses for parents to attended and ask any questions they would like to and hear what experiences other people have.
